The Dusk Side of Nightmare
Chapter 17: Returning To The Castle
Previous Chapter Next Chapter-Ponyville-
“Where the tartarus is he…?” Nightmare Moon said in a dark tone. She, Umbra, Nightmare Rarity, and the sirens were sitting around in the library of Dusk’s Castle. Nightmare Moon looked like she was going to break something as she impatiently paced around the room. While that was going on, Aria, Sonata, and Adagio were reading a few romance novels in the more ‘private section’ of Dusk’s library.
Nightmare Rarity and Umbra were in the middle of their chess game with nightmare Rarity surprisingly ahead of Umbra. Chrysalis was still at the Crystal Empire looking after Flurry while her parents were gone, and Barb and Philomena were still out with Celestia and Luna with the foreign delegates meeting.
“I think you can relax with the pacing dear.” Nightmare Rarity said looking directly at her half-sister. “You’ve been pacing sense 8:00 pm two nights ago.”
“Well excuse me since that moron has been gone for that long.” Nightmare Moon growled. “I’m…” She stopped mid-sentence and just continued to walk around for awhile.
“You know that I think?” Sonata said as she closed her book for a bit and looks at Nightmare Moon with a smirk. “I think you’re actually worried about Dusk.” Nightmare Moon’s face immediately turns red as she stumbles over a little from what Sonata said.
“W-what?!” Nightmare Moon stuttered from the immediate response from Sonata. “Th-that’s ridiculous! I don’t care about that handsome, book-obsessed know-it-all!” She stumbled and tried to correct herself.
“Your tone of voice says otherwise Moony…” Sonata said in a teasing manner. “Plus your constant pacing around the room since then has made a circular hole in the floor.”
Nightmare Moon was confused by what she meant until she looked down and noticed the large circular rut she made in the floor.
“T-Th-that’s not what I… Sh-shut up...” She added, crossing her arms under her ample bosom.
“I rest my case,” Sonata smirked. “You know you can just admit you’re worried about him without trying to hide it so much…”
“Well, he has been gone for quite a while.” Nightmare Rarity said moving a piece.
“He didn’t say how long he would be gone,” Umbra remarked as she moved her piece on her board. “So who knows when he will be back.”
“Well if it’s enough to make Moonbutt over there worry,” Sonata teased, pointing towards a blushing Nightmare Moon. “Shouldn't we be worried?”
“I told you that I’m not-!!” Nightmare Moon was going to defend her claim again, but she pauses when she catches onto what Sonata said, and her embarrassment turns to anger. “Wait, what did you call me?”
“You don’t like your pet name?” Sonata asked a little disheartened. “I just thought we would all have pet names for our master.”
“He’s not my master…” Nightmare Moon growled, turning away from the blue siren.
“That’s not what the collar around your neck says fatass.” Aria said in a sarcastic tone.
“WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU DEFTONE SERPENT?!!!” Nightmare Moon shouted glaring at Aria Blaze.
“You heard me, miss ass is so big it blocks out the sun!”
“Can’t you go one day without going at each other’s throats?” Adagio asked while sipping some milk from a mug. “I swear Aria, it’s like you have a-”
“Zip it cow tits!” Aria yelled, cutting off Adagio’s sister.
“WHAT’D YOU CALL ME!!!?” Adagio shouted, glaring at her sister. “I’M YOUR SISTER!!!”
“Could you not scream?” Nightmare Rarity said with a groan. “I’ve had enough of that shrill voice of yours, I’m trying to concentrate here.”
“If you’re going to start another fight then take it somewhere else,” Umbra added, moving another chess piece on the board.
“SHRILLED?!!” Agadio shouted, her temper starting to form. “AT LEAST I’M NOT SOME DARK WALKING BIMBO CLONE!!!” That comment made Nightmare Rarity freeze in place as she cracked one of the chess pieces she was about to move in the board in her hand. She slowly turns to Adagio with her right eye twitching in response to that comment but slowed her breathing for her own comeback.
“This coming from a cow and her Spineless Sea Dogs...” She added, with a rather dark smile on her face to see Adagios reaction.
“COW?!!!” Adagio shouted, her teeth grinding and what looked like fire in her eyes.
“SPINELESS SEA DOGS?!!!” Aria and Sonata said at the same time, feeling very offended at the comment. Even Sonata at the point of interest.
“Least we’re not some cheap knockoff of her.” Adagio stated towards Nightmare Rarity all while pointing to Nightmare Moon.
“And at least we didn’t lose an entire kingdom like dark has been over there.” Aria followed up, and Umbra broke one of the chess pieces in her hand. She turned to both of them with an angry glare, and her eyes said that she looked ready to kill someone.
“You dare say that when none of you even knew how to run a kingdom?”
“Well, we didn’t lose one so fast to other ponies. Bet you couldn’t keep a kingdom if you tried.” Aria wrapped up, and Umbra was about ready to snap.
“HOW DARE YOU!!” Umbra shouted as her horn glows in a dark aura and aimed a magical blast at the three sirens. The three former sirens panic in response when they saw the blast and jump out of the way. A small explosion was heard behind them, and the girls dust themselves off.
“What was that for, has been?” Aria shouted, dusting herself off from where she fell. Adagio followed suit, but Sonata was frozen.
“Sonata, what’s wrong?” Adagio asked, looking at her frightened sister. “The beam she fired missed.”
“The beam actually hit somepony…” Sonata pointed out, looking at a very pissed off mare right now, which was Umbra. The sirens were able to get out of the way of the blast Umbra fired, only for it to hit a new target: Nightmare Moon.
“Oh...” Adagio said in a quiet tone.
“Crap…” Aria followed up.
“Um...moon… are you okay?” Sonata asked, slowly walking over to her. A shockwave soon sent the three sirens flying back towards the wall. Nightmare Moon was seething with rage after that blast made contact with her, and her magic started to charge out.
“YOU BITCH!!!” Nightmare Moon yelled, glaring at Umbra. She then charged her horn and aimed at the dark unicorn in retaliation for her earlier blast. Umbra barely reacted in response when the beam was aimed in her direction. She put up a barrier at the last second and the beam rebounds in three directions. A set of small explosions followed soon after, and the sounds of coughing mares followed suit.
Once the smoke cleared up, the girls could see the room was slightly trashed. Some books knocked off the shelf, parts of the table being destroyed, and some of the girls were pretty razzled.
“Everypony okay?” Sonata asked as she was the only one who was unaffected by the blasts. A low growl could be heard from behind her, and she turns around to find her sister, Aria Blaze, glaring at Sonata. Adagio was behind her, and both of their manes were in ruin.
“Do I look okay Sonata?” Aria growled.
“I...guess...not?” She replied Sheepishly. The siren looked around the room to make sure that everyone is ok. Nightmare moon and Umbra were fine. Only Nightmare Moon’s dress was torn at the side, Aria and Adagios manes were messy, and Aria’s pigtail was undone from the fight.
Sonata then turns to Nightmare Rarity, but her face immediately turns pale. She looked up to her mane and gasped holding her hands to her mouth. Her sisters were confused by her reaction until they look at Nightmare Rarity and they just sat there frozen.
“Honestly Nightmare Moon,” Nightmare Rarity said, swiping away at the smoke with a coughing fit. “Could you be at least try not to destroy the place after one of your rage attacks?” She added while dusting herself off. Afterward, she turns to the sirens to try and tell them off but saw their faces a little shaken up.
“What’s wrong?” She asked, in a light confused manner. The sirens still didn’t answer, and Umbra noticed why the girls were shocked.
“Uh oh….” Adagio followed up.
“What uh-oh?” Nightmare Rarity asked in concern.
“Uuuhhh... nothing. Everything’s completely fine…” Aria followed up nervously.
“Then why do you look nervous?” She said suspiciously.
“Nervous, I’m not nervous, do I look nervous?” Nightmare Rarity was still confused by their antics until she felt her mane. She felt it a mess and she didn’t know how bad it looked. She then looks at Adagio with her right eye twitching.
“Give me a mirror…” Nightmare Rarity growled. “Right now…”
“Uuuhhh, I don’t think that’s a good idea….” She tried to say with a nervous smile, but her grew even paler when she looks at Nightmare Rarity glaring at her.
“Give...me...a...mirror...now…” She added, with a much more threatening demeanor.
“Oh boy…” Adagio sighed as she reaches downward for her purse. Fishing through it, she pulls out a small pocket mirror. Then ever so gently she hands it over to Nightmare Rarity before backing off as quickly as she can.
Brining the mirror up, the look that shown on her face was void of any emotion. All the other girls watched in both horror and anticipation of what their fellow herd mate was going to do.
It was then they saw the state of Nightmare Rarity's eye had lack any emotion whatsoever, and they were fixed on Nightmare Moon. "Sister dearie," Nightmare Rarity said in joyless tone.
"Yes?" Nightmare Moon Replied, unsure of how far over the line they went.
It was then that Nightmare Rarity's horn glowed and over three dozen sharp blue glowing diamonds appeared around her, pointing directly at Nightmare moon. "Your outfit looks to be barely holding together after that scuffle. Let me take care of that for you." She said with a crazed grin.
What’re you going to do with those?” Nightmare Moon asked her half sister. Nightmare Rarity only responds with a sinister grin.
“Oh, just going to give you a nice trim her and there, for RUINING MY MANE WITH THAT STUNT!!!” She shouted the last part at the top of her lungs. Even when she was a part of Rarity, there was one golden rule with either her or her darker counterpart: You don’t mess with either mare’s mane and expect to get away with it.
With that, she lights up her magic and throws the jewels at the dark alicorn. But right before they could hit their target, Nightmare Moon summons a barrier protecting her from the projectiles as they shattered against the magical barrier.
“DUCK AND COVER!!!” Sonata shouted before ducking under the table while debris and glowing diamonds flew everywhere in the room. The siren could hear screams of shock and surprise, but didn’t know who’s it was.
Sonata, not hearing anymore of the ensuing chaos stood up over her cover to find the room in disarray. Tables and chairs were overturned, a couple of lamps were broken, blue cut diamonds embedded into the walls and floor, and some of the girls were pretty cut up from Nightmare Rarity's Diamond Storm.
Adagio had pieces of it in her mane, Aria took a few in her ass, Nightmare Rarity screamed as pieces of her own attack were stuck in her mane, and Umbra looked pissed as her horn angrily sparked out magic.
“THAT’S IT!!!” Umbra shouted as another magic fight began to break out. She fires another blast of magic and Nightmare Moon only counters with her own blast of magic. Aria and Sonata quickly dive under a nearby table to avoid the two colliding blasts. Adagio didn’t see it coming with her hair over her eyes from Nightmare Rarity’s attack only to get blasted back against the wall.
“Adagio!” Sonata cried out. The two siren sisters race to their third in hope that she was alright. When they got to her eye’s looked like they were doing circles around each other before Adagio shook her head clear as anger filled the sirens eyes.
“That’s it come here!” The orange hair siren said before charging up behind Nightmare Rarity, who was distracted by her sister counterpart and Umbra fighting, and grabbed her by the hair.
Nightmare Rarity ‘yelped’ from the sudden pain from her hair being pulled before she saw a yellow fist collided with her nose.
Seeing her sister fist fighting Nightmare Rarity, Sonata rushed and tried to pull them apart. “Girls! Girls! Stop it!” Sonata shouted at them.
While she was dealing with that. Nightmare Moon and Umbra were now resalting to close combat instead of magic. If anyone were to spectat this match, some would say the two would only need a matching pair of spandex the way they were clawing and biting each other. Then it would look like an amiture wresling match.
Aira, being the only one out of the fight, decided to lean against the wall and try to dig out any remaining diamonds out of her ass. Overall everything was in pure chaos. Nightmare Moon and Umbra were getting ready to charge another magical blast and they didn’t recognize someone walking in the room.
“HEY!! A voice called out from behind them, and one they recognized. All the girls stopped what they were doing as they turn in the direction of the voice to find Dusk standing at the libraries doorway with a disappointed look on his face as he stood there with his arms crossed.
“Wow... I come back after two days, and you’re already trying to kill each other.” Dusk added in response. “Honestly what were you all doing while I was gone?”
Nightmare Moon was the first to stand up from the rest of the girls and immediately get in front of Dusk. “WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?” Nightmare Moon shouted, glaring at Dusk as he now arrived home. “IT’S BEEN TWO DAYS!!”
“Well, I was just-!” Dusk stopped mid-sentence as he caught onto how Nightmare Moon reacted. “Wait, you were worried about me?” He inquired.
“U-um...no…” Nightmare Moon stuttered when she realized what she did without thinking. She could hear some of the others snickering behind her, but she didn’t want to make a bigger fool of herself. After calming her actions, she spoke. “I was just wondering on how long you were gone. You said you’d be back later in the evening and it’s been two days, so why is that?”
“He was out making a world record.” Demon Dusk remarked, cutting off whatever Dusk had to say.
“A world record of what, exactly?” Nightmare Moon asked.
“Of Endurance…”
“Will you please shut up, so I can explain what happened?!” Dusk shouted, glaring at his necklace.
“Whatever.” Demon Dusk remarked as the necklace stopped glowing, signaling that he was silent.
“Anyways,” Dusk said, looking back at his harem. “Why were all of you fighting when I opened the door? Can’t you all not act like fouls for day while I’m out?” The rest of the girls were silent. Nightmare moon, especially since her cheeks, turned slightly pink. “Come on, at least say something.”
“The so-called dark queen of the night was actually worried about you since you were gone for the past couple of days.” Sonata blurted out making Nightmare Moon flinch making her cheeks flush red and turning around with a death glare aimed at Sonata.
“YOU LITTLE BRAT!!!” She shouted, making Sonata shift slightly.
“Well he wanted to know what happened, and you weren’t saying anything.”
“I swear, you all act like a bunch of fouls. I’m debating on whether or not I should leave a sitter for you all the next time I’m away.” Dusk remarked. Much to the embarrassment of the girls.
“Awwww, isn’t that sweet... my dark queen of the night going soft.” Demon Dusk remarked in a sarcastic tone, making Nightmare Moon glare back at Dusk with a bright red blush on her face.
“Sh-shut up! I'm not soft.” She stuttered, trying to put on a brave face.
“Your body says otherwise.” Demon Dusk remarked, only adding fuel to a growing flame.
“Why you little-!” Nightmare Moon stopped in front of Dusk with her fist raised but was frozen in place while her collar glowed, a look of discomfort formed on her face as she feels the burning between her legs.
“Ah, ah not so fast dear. You can’t deny your feelings for him and why should you? And the same goes for the rest of you, at least a certain ‘somepony’ can admit that.” Sonata smirked puffing out her chest at the remark towards her. “Plus how could any of you resist this, I mean have you seen the size of his dick?” All the girls blushed at Demon Dusk’s statement.
“Could you please leave them and my dick size out of this and focus?” Dusk said tiredly
.
“What? Not my fault they’re all hot and sexy.”
“Sh-sh-Shut up!” Aria stuttered out embarrassed.
“Why thank you Duskie.” Sonata smiled brightly.
“Please stop, all your doing is encouraging him.” Nightmare Moon said with a sigh.
“Not my fault they all give me something to be encouraged about.”
“Will you do something about your other half before I…” Nightmare Moon stopped mid-sentence before looking back at Dusk with a confused expression. She stands up from her kneeling position and stepped forward to Dusk and hugged him, confusing the stallion.
“Uh, what are you doing?” Dusk asked, confused by her sudden actions. It also wasn’t helping that his face was pressed against her huge breasts. “I get you’re trying to be more open to me, but-” Dusk stopped mid-sentence as he heard Nightmare sniffing at his mane.
“Uh… why are you sniffing me?” Dusk asked as he felt the alicorn inhale his scent. She then jerked back suddenly, a surprised look of shock that turned into a large scowl. Dusk was pushed away from her and falls on his ass.
“Ow, what was that fo-” Dusk tried to say, but was cut off by Nightmare Moon’s glare.
“WHO DID YOU JUST FUCK WITH?!!!” She roared at him.
“What?”
“DON’T GIVE ME THAT YOU SLEAZY BASTARD!!! I CAN SMELL ANOTHER MARE ON YOU!!! WHO IS IT THAT YOU WERE WITH?!!”
“What are you yelling about now?” Sonata asked the furious mare. She turned to the siren, her eyes glowed a bright white and her mane began to flare out turning from a gaseous dark purple to a billowing cloud of bright pink. Her face was twisted in a snarl, her nostrils flaring at the anger welling up inside her.
“THIS SO CALLED STALLION OF OURS WAS OUT FUCKING ANOTHER MARE!!” Nightmare Moon yelled, getting the attention of everyone in the room. “I CAN SMELL IT ALL OVER HIM!!”
“What’d you do Dusk, fall over for some mare and brought her home with you?” Aria joked.
“SHOVE IT YOU WALKING PIECE OF SUSHI!! HE WENT AFTER ANOTHER MARE JUST SO HE CAN SATE HIS LUST!!” She fumed. Dusk was a little hurt at her accusation, but she wasn’t wrong that fucked another mare. But it did hurt that she thought he would replace her or any of the girls.
“SUSHI!!?” Aria yelled in response to Moon’s comment.
“Come on Nighty you’re overreacting,”Sonata said trying to calm her down.
“OVERREACTING!!? YOU'RE NOT CONCERNED THAT HE MIGHT JUST WANT TO FIND SOME OTHER MARES TO STICK HIS DICK IN BECAUSE HE IS TIRED OF US ALREADY!!?”
“Ok, now you’re just being ridiculous. Dusk wouldn’t leave us for some random mares. Plus if you haven’t noticed, we’ve been marked by him and with kids on the way too.” Sonata added with a sweet smile.
“Do you seriously think he would run off from us and find some other ponies for himself? He cares about us too much to leave us alone like that.” Adagio said, looking to Dusk who had a small smile on his face at her defending him. “And if he ever did we would hunt him down and castrate him,” Adagio added sweetly, making Dusk gulp nervously.
“As much as I want to, you do know we can’t do that with these around our neck right?” Aria countered, pointing at the enchanted collars around their necks.
“SO WHAT, HE JUST LEFT AND FUCKED SOMEONE BECAUSE I’M NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM OR THE REST OF YOU?!!” She yelled surprising Sonata and Dusk.
“He’s at least keeping us occupied while we’re stuck here,” Nightmare Rarity followed up, brushing her mane. “At least until he introduces all of us to Equestria.”
“Most ponies will probably think he’s either very brave or insane for taking all of us.” Umbra followed up. “But they may also think that he was able to claim us without a problem.
“He technically did.” Sonata chirped.
“We don’t need to be reminded of what happened Sonata.” All the girls, other than Nightmare Moon and Dusk said at the same time.
“Thank you, girls…” Dusk said, standing up and dusting himself off. “As for you Nightmare Moon, I’m offended you would think that I would hurt any of you that way, but I get why you would be so worried.”
“I-I-I said that I wasn’t worried!!” She shouted, her face only getting redder, as she tried to keep a straight face. The other girls could be heard snickering behind her, and it only made her even more embarrassed. “Sh-shut up!!”
“You know, other than Chrysalis and Sonata, none of you have really been open with your emotions since you’ve all been living with me for two weeks, especially to me.”
“Wh-what’re you talking about?” Nightmare Moon responded.
“That right there.” Dusk scolded. “This is exactly why every time I leave the castle,
I come back and find you girls at each other's throats and I’m sick of it.”
“W-wha…”
“Not just me, but my friends as well.” He added. “Chrysalis and Sonata were able to break out of their shells and open up to me about their feelings, so why can’t the rest of you? And don’t say it’s because of your attitudes. I'm not gonna fly with that anymore.”
Each of the girls were surprised at Dusk’s sudden demeanor. Sonata was the only one smiling seeing that everyone wasn’t fighting anymore.
Nightmare Moon stared down at the ground in front of her. Refusing to look up at the stallion in front of her. Her mind racing over current events. ‘What do I caring so much about what Dusk was up to? It doesn't matter to me, right?’ Nightmare Moon thought as she rubbed her shoulder with a hand.
“If you’re afraid that I’m gonna abandon you all just say it.” Dusk said in a calm tone. “You can’t keep your feelings locked up like this since that’s what’s messing with all of you right now.”
“I...I may have been a little... jealous.” Nightmare Moon spoke out.
“A little?!” Everyone deadpanned.
“Shut up...ok I was jealous…” She blushed “But the reason was….I didn’t want to lose you….idiot…”
Then reaching out, Dusk got in close to Nightmare Moon and pulled her in a comforting hug the likes of which she'd never felt before. She’d been beaten, smashed, slashed, fucked by a sex demon turned werewolf and been blasted by a cannon powered by friendship. Never had Nightmare moon felt such an alien feeling, one were she was starting to warm inside of her. A part of her hated it.
She was supposed to be queen of the night and this one small act was pushing her emotions in ways that she didn’t know she had or could explore. Testing something out she reached out returned the hug in favor to the simple action. Nightmare felt a rubbing motion from Dusks hand on her back that seemed to both calm her in some ways and excite in others.
She then broke it off and looked at the stallion. “What did you just do to me? What magic was that?!” Nightmare Moon demanded, if one would call it that while she blushed as she did.
“That was called love Moon. It's what couples feel when showing affection to one another.” Dusk replied back.
“I don’t know how I feel about this. Its unfamiliar to me and-” She was stopped when Dusk laid a hand on her shoulder.
“Will take things slow for now if your uncomfortable about this. Otherwise I’m here when you need me.” He smiled at the dark alicorn making her heart feel light in her chest.
“That reminds me,” Dusk said as he looked at Nightmare Rarity. “What happened to her mane?”
“Why don’t you ask her?” She said as she points toward Nightmare Moon with a glare. Dusk looked back at Nightmare Moon with a raised eyebrow and a stern look. One that made her shrink under his gaze.
“You could at least try to apologise for ruining her mane.” Dusk said before turning to Umbra.
“Also Umbra, I don’t think you have to bicker and act like such a foal over something so silly.” Dusk said as he looked over at the former crystal queen.
Umbra felt like she’d been slapt from the way Dusk talked to her and she didn’t like it. “I do not act like a foal!”
“That crabby attitude of yours says otherwise.” Demon Dusk remarked, making the mare growl clenching her fists hard.
“YOU WRETCHED LITTLE-” She raises her fist to hit Dusk only for the collar to trigger and make her marehood burn to where she slumps on the floor. “THIS DAMN COLLAR!!”
“Proves my point on how you snap at every little thing that annoys you.” Demon Dusk replied.
“How about you can it so I can get what I need to say off my chest?” Dusk said, glaring at his necklace.
“Fine...I’ll leave you all alone…” Demon Dusk replied. The amulet suddenly stops glowing signaling that he was gone. Umbra was able to stand on her feet once the burning died down, but her underwear was now soaked.
‘Damned Bastard…’ She groaned.
“Much as I hate agreeing with him, he has a point.” Dusk added, as Umbra was still struggling to stand up. “You constantly snapping at everything is also what’s starting these fights in the first place.”
“Well excuse me since there are many things that annoy me.” Umbra remarked, blushing slightly. “Especially that horny bastard that’s apart of you.”
“I can’t really blame you or the others for my other halfs actions….” Dusk replied, holding his hand out to let her up. “But I can try to set up something to make you all feel comfortable.”
Umbra was still blushing the longer he looked into his eyes. She once ruled over a kingdom with an iron fist, but here she was on her knees in front of a stallion she wanted revenge against helping her. All of her life, she never had someone concerned for her well being of their own will before. Yet here Dusk was doing that, despite what he did to them. Umbra takes his hand, and he helps her up.
“Can you at least try to keep you temper down a little, at least for the foals sake?” Dusk asked, looking down at the blushing mare. Umbra place her hand on her lower part of her body. Reminding her that she was with foal and knew that overagretion tendence could hurt the both of them. She had never even thought of being the mother before when she ruled an empire and now that was carrying the thoughts of being one was now starting to sink in.
“F...fine…”She begrudgingly agreed to him. Dusk helps Umbra up and turns to the rest of the girls.
“If you’re done getting at each other's throats, I actually have something I need to bring up on why I was gone for so long.” Dusk began and Umbra sat back down to her seat. “Before I begin though, I want to wait until the others hear of this as well. That includes the princesses.”
“Why them?” Nightmare Moon asked.
“Just a little question I need to ask Celestia after you were banished over a millenia ago.” He added.
“Oooh...must be something good…”
“Yep. That reminds me; Is Chrysalis still at the Crystal Empire?” The moment Dusk asked that question everyone froze in place. Some of the girls exchange glances at each other while some showed signs of slight horror. All having some degree of displeasure among the girls.
“What’s wrong?”
“Um,” Adagio was the first to speak, as she rubbed the back of her head. “Cadence and Gleaming arrived a day early yesterday.”
“Okay... that’s not telling me much.” Dusk said with a confused expression. “Plus why do you all look scared?”
“Maybe we should show him where she is right now after Cadence brought her in?” Sonata suggested.
“What do you mean?”
“It be best if we showed you. You’ll understand when you see.” Aria said before she waved Dusk over her to follow.
“Okay then…” Dusk said as he followed behind the siren with Sonata, Aria, and Adagio following behind, leaving the other mares alone.
-Chrysalis's room-
Brutality was one of the first words that came to mind when Aira opened the door to Chrysalis’s room. Lying face down on her bed laid the rogue changeling queen looking like she was asleep almost. If it weren’t for the sight of two giant ice bags sitting on her naked rear with both cheeks burning bright red.
Dusked asked Chrysalis one time about her chitin and how she kept it was like armor for a changeling but as soft as anyones skin. She replied back saying it acts as a second skin and helps fuse with their magic and assists them with their shapeshifting abilities. So by what Dusk was seeing, something did not go right when she was at his sisters place.
“Could you three leave us alone for right now?” Dusk asked the three sirens. The only nod in response and leave the room, leaving him alone with Chrysalis.
“The Tartarus happened to you Chrysalis?” Dusk asked in shock.
“Cadence and Gleaming got a little too rough with me the other day.” Chrysalis answered, her face still in the pillow. “Something about wanting to pay me back for when you were all foalnapped and her wedding nearly being ruined.”
“They held a grudge for that long?” Dusk asked, once again in shock.
“Apparently with the state her poor ass in.” Sonata said with worry in her tone.
“I don’t need you dragging my ass into this.” Chrysalis moaned before looking from her pillow in their direction at the open door. Dusk turned to the mares and they only close the door in response leaving Dusk and Chrysalis alone
“You okay?” Dusk asked walking towards her, sitting on her bed.
“Do I look okay?” Chrysalis asked with a groan, slumping her face back in the pillow.
“I was just told about this. How long were they at it with you?” Dusk asked with concern.
“I don’t know exactly. The pain numbed my whole body to the point where I lost track of time. So maybe a day I think. They kept switching off between each other.” Chrysalis answered with her head turned to the side to answer. “Then a strapon that had the words Ass- annihilator-”
“Please... stop…” Dusk groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Guess I was right about those two holding a grudge…” He responded, while rubbing the back of his head.
“I don’t blame them…” Chrysalis said with a sign planting her face back in the pillow. “After what I did to you and everyone else... I deserved what they did to me...”
“Honestly, I think they may have been a little excessive with getting ‘even’ with you…” Dusk added. “But maybe they might feel better knowing they got their pent up frustrations they had towards you out.”
“Maybe...they did say that they felt better after doing that…” Chrysalis responded. “They also said that I could take care of Flurry the next time anyone in your family is busy. The little filly didn’t seem to have any hatred towards me.”
“She is still just a baby so she probably doesn’t remember what you did…” Dusk said, slightly cheering her up a little. “I’m still gonna have a talk with my sister and Cadence when they come here tonight.”
“Why tonight?” She asked in confusion.
“I have an announcement involving why I was gone for so long as well as a much needed question to Princess Celestia.” He began getting up from the bed. “You gonna be okay later on?”
“So long as I don’t sit down, I’ll be fine.” She answered with a sigh towards her sore bum. “So this announcement is tonight?”
“Yes, and it’s a surprise.” Dusk said making Chrysalis’s ears droop slightly. “Don’t worry, just try to take it easy and everything will be alright.” Dusk said, before unknowingly slapping Chrysalis’s swollen ass.
The Changeling instantly roared in both pain and pleasure from the sharp contact to her redden rear. Dusk backed away from the bed after doing so, slowly fearing for his life at what he just did. The sirens behind him all blushed at the perverted noise Chrysalis made, even making Sonata and Aria a little hot between the legs.
They watched as Chrysalis’s head was buried into her pillow while her whole body shook in both unenduring pain she felt along with the extreme unexpected pleasure she felt. Lifting her head from her pillow showed a red and panting Chrysalis looking at Dusk with eyes filled with fire and lust that promised retribution against her alicorn master.
“Hehe...sorry about that…” Dusk replied. “Forgot you were still sore…”
“My ass is still sore you bastard... Once I’m healed I’ll be seeking payback for this.” Chrysalis said with a deep snarl before turning sinister. ”With a new clutch of eggs.” She finished while licking her lips.
“Oh boy…” Dusk replied with a sigh, knowing that she wanted some fun later on. “Well... I’m gonna go see how the others are doing.” He added leaving Chrysalis alone and back to the sirens who were waiting outside their door step.
“What’s wrong?” He asked as he noticed they had mixed expressions, but they’re faces were slightly red.
“You got us slightly worked up with that earlier stunt you demon bastard…” Aria said with her cheeks slightly turning redder.
“If you’re trying to get us sleezed up, then nice work.” Adagio followed up. Dusk was slightly confused by what they meant, until he looked down to see a dark spot where their marehoods were. “You succeeded.”
“Hey let’s all go to my room! We haven’t done a foursome in there with just us yet.” Sonata happily said, making her sisters blush hard at the idea. “There was some school girl costumes and a teacher outfit I wanted us to try out.”
“Sonata...please shut...up…” Aria said weakly, unable to keep the thoughts of a sexy teacher Dusk out of her mind.
“You’re really not helping…” Adagio followed up, making Sonata pout.
“Oh come on….” Sonata whined. “I’ve always wanted to try this and it it would be nice if you two weren’t always such sticks in the mud…”
“Actually Sonata, can that wait until tonight?” Dusk said in response. “I did mention that I needed to bring something up to everyone.” He added, making Sonata’s ears droop in response.
“I’ll work with you girls later, but this is really important.” Dusk said, clapping his hands together hoping to get the girls to comply. They were about to say something when another female voice that wasn’t from Dusk’s herd was heard.
“Hey Dusk! We’re back!” That was Barb’s voice and he breathed a slight sigh of relief. She showed up behind the sirens with a smile and spring in her step along with Philomena.
“Hey Barb, welcome back! Can you come with me for a moment? I got something to tell you.” Dusk called back. They watched as Barb along with Philomena who was currently stretching her limbs from the trip.
“Hey Dusk, what’s up?” Barb asked. Her face turns confused when she smells what was burnt ash. “And why do you smell like burnt ash?”
“It’s a long story, but first,” Dusk said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a rare gem for Barb. Her eyes grew big as she gazed into the gem. “My promise to you, a rare mountain gem.”
“Sweet!” She said, taking the gem from Dusk’s hand.
“Also where’s Starlight?”
“She’s with Trixie right now,” Philomena explained. “She’d been having trouble sleeping and couldn’t stay awake so we let her stay at Trixie’s place till she felt better.”
“Okay, so how was the summit?” Dusk asked. Barb and Philomena only burst out laughing in response.
“Oh it was hilarious when Blueblood got involved…” Barb added.
“What did he got himself into this time? Did he get banned from ever going back, unless he wants to start a war between Ponies and Gryphons.” Dusk asked in response.”
“Hehe... here Barb let me tell him.” Philomena said before she looked at Dusk. “So it goes like this…”
-Griffon Empire-
“I have to say I do love the way the feathers along your body reflect off the light. I have never seen griffon’s feather pattern like it. What line of house do you hail from?” Asked Queen Gwendel as she talks with Philomena.
It was the second and last day of the summit between Equestria and the Griffon Empire. The summit was currently having a recess before the final debate, and the delegates from both nations were enjoying each other's company.
Barb and Blueblood were currently getting a tour of GriffonStone while Philomena was with the the queen and were becoming fast friends. “I’m not from any griffon house your majesty. I was a phoenix not too long ago and was part of an accident and became what you see now.” Philomena replied.
She lied to the queen about her true origins because letting the truth that one of Equestria’s princes being a half demon would be bad for national relations. Her lie seemed to work on the queen as she looked other the former phoenix in a new outlook.
“My word! Could you tell me what sort of experiment this was to produce such a result?” Queen Gwendal inquired, making the anthro phoenix sweat a little.
Before Philomena could say anything to the queen the doors burst open to reveal amused Barb and a shredded unamused Prince Blueblood.
“What happened to you?” Philomena asked in bewilderment.
“Can’t you tell? I was attacked!” Blueblood replied before he looked at the Queen. “Your highness, I demand that those hussein's be arrested!”
The Queen and phoenix then turned to the only dragon in the room wanting an explanation. For which she did. “Me and Blueblood were touring the city square when he decided to step across to these three griffonesses and started hitting on them. They weren’t interested and he tried buying them out only to feel insulted that he thought them as hookers. He then verbally insults them, I won’t repeat what he said, and they surround him and beat the ever living snot out of him. After which he ran with them chasing him and I found them a few blocks away with the same three plus another two clawing at him. ” Barb explained while trying not to crack a smile.
“This continued four more times before we reached the castle and the guards blocked them right before we came in here. They should be still outside shouting for his head still.”
Listening closely they did hear the sound of female griffons screeching down the halls, and they were slowly getting louder.
Everyone in the room looked at the doors that Barb and Blueblood came as the sounds of a mob of griffins coming from the other side of the door. Said door then flew open and a flash mob of female griffons came charging in. When one of girls spots Blueblood, she signals hims out.
“There he is!” The griffon called out grabbing the others attention.
“There you are!” One griffon said.
“Your head is going to look good with the rest of my trophies!” Another called out as showed off her talons.
“Not before I get a chance to scalp that pretty mane off his head!” Said the one with a blood covered butchers knife.
“Not my mane!” Blueblood shouted before running for his life again out of the room with the mob not far behind.
The Queen, Barb, and Philomena watched as the mob chased after the lone stallion. The Queen then turned to the other two native Equestrians. “Should I put a stop to this before my subjects permanently harm your companion?”
The dragoness and phoenix looked at each for a moment before answering.
“Naaaa” They both said at the same time as they enjoyed the of show cat and mouse Blueblood played with locals. They later heard screaming from blueblood and the sounds of him being pummeled down in a corridor.
-Present-
“Pissed off the Gryphons that bad huh?” Dusk asked, trying to stifle a bit of laughter.
“He woke up later in the hospital after what he said to them, and they were justifiably angry with him.” Philomena added. “He’ll be hospitalized for the next two months.”
“Did Celestia and Luna say anything about what happened while you were with them?” He asked.
“They said it would hopefully teach him a lesson on how he treats mares of any race and hopefully not to do it again.” Barb added with a sarcastic tone. “But knowing Blueblood, he’ll just find another way to piss off females in a different country. I’m betting it's Yakyakistan next.”
“My money is on the seaponies…” Philomena followed up.
“Mine’s that he’ll piss off a few dragonesses in the dragon kingdom…” Dusk added, making the other girls chuckle in response.
“Anyways, what do you need me for?” Barb asked.
“I need you to send a letter to these individuals.” Dusk said as he pulls a list from his pocket. The list had Pinkie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Celestia, Luna, Moondancer, Starlight, Trixie, Cadence and Gleaming.
“Sure, what do you need the princess and our friends for? Was it something you found?”
“I found something alright, but I need to talk to Princess Celestia about this when she gets here.” Dusk explained. “I’m also gonna write to Sunset as well from the journal since I need to have her talk to Celestia as well.”
“Okay…”
“Don’t worry you’ll understand why I’ll need everyone present, I also need to have a talk with my sisters about Chrysalis with the state I found her in.” Dusk asked with some disappointment in his tone.
“Oh boy, what happened?” Dusk just moves out the way and points inside Chrysalis room. Barb raised an eyebrow before stepping up to the door before looking inside. The dragon stumbled back in shock while her face blushed furiously before she looked back at Dusk. “What the hay happened to her?!”
“Let’s just say that involved a lot of paddling and strapons…and no it wasn’t me.” Dusk brought up.
“Right, you said that Gleaming is a succubus…” Philomena added in response. “Well, I’m going to go bathe…” She followed up leaving Barb and Dusk alone.
“You want me to get started on that letter?” Barb asked.
“No, I got it...” Dusk said as he summoned a quill and parchment in his hands. He begins writing down why he wants them to come and then uses a spell to make several copies and wrapped each individual scroll that had a golden stamp with each of the girls cutie marks on them.
“Okay Barb, you know the drill…“ He followed up, standing back. Barb charges her flames and burns each of the letters sending them to each individual mare tha Dusk wrote down.
“There…hopefully the girls will wonder why what’s going on…” Barb added in response, as the letters all disappeared.
“Thanks Barb…” Dusk said. The dragoness then walks away from the young alicorn wondering on what his surprise would be about.
Dusk watched his dragon assistant walked away but couldn’t help look down at her tail wagging from side to side.
“Well now? You like staring at her ass, don’t you?” Said Demon Dusk. Snapping Dusk out of his stupor.
“What! I’m not looking at her ass?!” Dusk said in panic.
“Umm... yea you were. I see everything you see and definitely checking out that piece of dragon meat.” Demon Dusk teased. “But hey, I don’t blame you. She’s become one sexy dragoness over time and I can’t fault you for that. Didn’t think you were an ass man, not after all the times you loved to suck the girls tits.”
“Shut up!” Dusk shouted. “That was all you and you know it!”
“Umm, Dusk?” A female voice called out making Dusk freeze in place. Looking up Dusk saw that the sirens and Barb were standing in front of him. With Barb staring into his eye with a big blushing face looking at him embarrassment.
“Oh… I said that out loud didn’t I?” Dusk said with his cheeks turning pink.
“Yes you did. Would you like barb to join us later in our teacher student roleplay, Barb? Me and my sister are going to were some school girl outfits that I know Dusk would to see us wear!” Sonata said to the dragon next to her. Making Barb face go completely red and studder at the offer as she looked between Dusk and the sirens.
“W-why would you include me into that?” Barb asked in a flustered manner. Sonata only hugs the blushing dragon closer.
“Because having five people doing a teacher student roleplay instead of four is much more fun!”
Everyone present besides Sonata including Chrysalis who could still hear what everyone was say outside her open door, blushed to the point where they were imitating one of Applejacks red apples.
“For the love all of the world's seas Sonata, why are you so horny?!” Aria said as she tried to hide both her embarrassment and arousal.
Only Dusk could give an answer to that, thinking about what Daybreaker said about Sonata becoming a Alpha. ‘Guess she wasn’t kidding about Sonata being more horny compared to the other girls since I got a hold of her first.’
“Can’t this wait until after I announce what I need to say to everyone?” Dusk brings up, wanting to try and stop this hormonal drive that Sonata was giving off.
“Aw, but I planned this forever...” Sonata added, pressing her body against her master. “Please?” She added the puppy dogs eyes to the mix making Dusk internally twitch at the sight.
‘Dawwww… Dusk how can you can say no to a face like that?’ Demon Dusk said in his head.
“I- I’m sorry Sonata but this is too important. It’s about the herd and I need to tell you all this.”
“GASP, Your not going to get rid of us are you?!” Sonata said in surprise.
“NO!” Dusk said in a panic before quickly before he grabbed hold of the mare in a tight loving hug. “Never! I could never get rid of you girls. Each of you are special to me in your own way that I can never turn away. Even if were now stuck in such a way due to my darker self, I still will always care for you.” He said lovingly as he rest his head next to the former sirens. Unknowingly to Dusk, every girl within hearing distance, their hearts just fluttered at what he said.
“Please never say that again Sonata, it scared me when you said that.”
‘O-ok, I promise. But why do you need all of the royals to come in the first place?” Sonata asked as they broke their hug but still held onto each others arms.
“Just trust me. Everything will make sense soon.” Dusk assured as the two shared a heart filled moment.
“Okay, but you owe us for making us wait…” Sonata added, taking one of Dusk’s hands and letting grope her breasts. Now the moment was gone, making Dusk blush slightly from the contact.
“Okay, get a room you two!” Barb added, pulling Sonata off of Dusk. “While I’m at it, I’ll do some cooking since will be having a lot of guests for this.”
“Thanks Barb.” Dusk said.
“Sure.” Barb followed up, taking the Sirens to their room leaving Dusk alone.
“I just hope they don’t freak out when they meet her.” Dusk said to himself walking back to his room.
